| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
From the end of the seventeenth century, French porcelain manufactories began to produce porcelain under the stimulus of their interest in and admiration for exquisite Chinese and Japanese porcelains. French painters of the time also represented diverse porcelains in their paintings, mostly portrait, genre and still-life works.
This study endeavors to show why and how porcelains were depicted in paintings, and the meanings they were intended to convey. Aspects of how the paintings and porcelains were received at the time are also examined. The research reveals that painters or their patrons chose porcelains according to their kind of manufacture, whether Oriental porcelain, Saint-Cloud, Chantilly, or Sevres, and the value they held as such. In some instances, a connection could be shown between the porcelains depicted and concurrent tastes in French art.
